Work+Study Degrees with 75% Corporate Scholarships
View(s):The gap between degree-education and the workplace is increasingly widening. Most university graduates find themselves either unemployed or underemployed. Work experience has become a must at a job interview – and for a fresh graduate, that is a catch-22 situation.
For employers, hiring fresh graduates without the skills is a costly experiment. They would rather hire experienced personnel than to invest in training fresh graduates without a guaranteed outcome. Time too is a luxury most companies cannot afford.
JISC eduCLaaS in collaboration with Lithan Singapore offers an ideal solution for this phenomenon: International Work+Study Degrees that embed a 3-year, full-time, paid apprenticeship with Singaporean corporate sector. A win-win for graduates as well as the corporates.
“I’ve completed my first year and now I’m working as a Junior Software Engineer on a cutting-edge Data Retrieval System with Google + Open AI Development Project. In just one year, I’ve gone from being a student to a professional with an international job opportunity, earning US$300 a month – and now I pay my own Course Fees without being a burden to my parents” says Hashan, a former student of Nalanda College, Colombo, currently a second year undergraduate at JISC.
With over 2,000 industry partners, eduCLaaS provides their undergraduates apprenticeship opportunities with some of the leading companies in the world. Most apprentices get absorbed into the same organisations after successful completion of the degree – and they continue to work remotely while earning a sizeable dollar income from home.
Year 2 Digital Business apprentices Sahanya from Mahamaya Kandy and Devindi from Good Shephard Colombo were pleasantly surprised when they were invited to visit Singapore on a fully-paid business trip to meet up with their global team. Not only they returned home with unforgettable memories, their commitment to work was also cemented with an increase in their apprenticeship allowance.
“I cannot believe the progress I see in my daughter. She is financially independent and manages her own expenses related to the degree – and it allowed me to retire six years in advance…” says Shanya’s father with a smile.
For Sajatha, treating his family for a fancy meal every month with his ‘salary’ has become a new ritual. A former student of Gateway Colombo, Sajatha enrolled in the programme with London A/L’s and he would graduate with a 4-year full time degree and a 3-year work experience at the age of 22; a feat a typical Sri Lankan youth would achieve at the age of 28-29 years.
Most importantly, the curriculum is industry oriented: developed by the industry, the learners receive multiple industry certifications as they progress. For example, a Computer Science undergraduate would be a “Microsoft-certified Data Scientist” in Year 3 and a “Microsoft-certified AI Engineer Associate” in the Year 4 – without having to learn anything beyond the syllabus. Similarly, Business degree accumulates industry certifications from Meta, Google and multiple industry partners.
